Qatar National Library

Qatar National Museum is beautiful—very clean, neat, and seamless, much like the other architecture in Qatar. The children’s section, however, felt more like a regular children’s library. I think it could benefit from more interactive elements—more reading nooks, a small play area, hands-on activities, or even an art corner. On the positive side, the children’s library is conveniently located next to the restaurant and restroom, which makes it easy to leave children aged nine and above safely while they enjoy the area. The library staff are very friendly and helpful. My experience borrowing books wasn’t perfect, but the registrar’s staff were extremely helpful. We had trouble scanning books with our phone, so the staff manually checked them out one by one. Note that only the person holding the Qatar ID can borrow the books, so my husband had to do it. During our visit, there was an Antarctica exhibition, which was stunning. It’s fascinating to see one of the last untouched places on Earth through photography and exhibits. I hope the museum continues to host such informative and engaging exhibitions.

Wow!! Qatar National Library is absolutely stunning. The building itself is huge, modern, and very impressive, both inside and out. The open design, bright space, and clean layout make it feel more like a landmark than just a library. Everything is well organized and beautifully maintained. Even if you’re not there to read or study, it’s worth visiting just to see the architecture and experience the space.

My visit to the Qatar National Library was an absolutely magical experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was struck by the sheer beauty and architectural brilliance of the building. The open, light-filled space and the towering shelves of books create an atmosphere of both grandeur and serenity. But what truly makes this library special is its heart. It’s more than just a repository of books; it's a vibrant community hub. I saw children excitedly exploring the dedicated kids' section, students collaborating in quiet study pods, and people of all ages simply losing themselves in a good book. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and their passion for literature was contagious. The highlight for me was the heritage library, a true treasure trove of historical documents and rare manuscripts. It felt like a journey through time, a testament to Qatar's rich history and its commitment to preserving knowledge. Leaving the Qatar National Library, I felt a deep sense of peace and inspiration. It's a place that celebrates learning, fosters community, and honors the timeless magic of books. It’s a true gift to the people of Qatar and a must-visit for anyone who believes in the power of stories.

Qatar National Library is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places in Doha. The architecture is stunning, bright, and spacious — perfect for studying, reading, or just relaxing. The collection is huge, from international books to rare manuscripts in the Heritage Library. Staff are always welcoming and helpful, and the facilities are very well organized with modern technology. I especially love the comfortable study areas and the quiet environment during weekdays. A must-visit for anyone living in or visiting Qatar!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

An impressive and modern place to see. Beautiful architecture, spacious interior, and a calm atmosphere. Worth visiting if you’re nearby, even just to walk around and take it in.

Gorgeous! Easy to visit for free, just walk right in, so fun to see the stacks, book conveyor belt, exhibit of photos, rare books, etc. The architecture alone is worth the visit! Definitely check it out if nearby and in the broader Education City which is fun to walk around too!

one of the best spots here in Qatar. i spend most of my time there ; reading, meditating, studying. it is a beautiful breath-taking place. staff are amazing and well selected !. resturants, coffee shop, toilets , prayer rooms and many sitting areas are available. you can borrow up to 5 books once you register and get your memebership card. and it's for FREE!. parking is sometimes an issue, so we need to park quite further down but valet parking are available. if you are a tourist, dont miss visiting this place. highly highly recommended. blessings & Love

What a mind blowing yet beautiful library unlike anything I've ever seen. An incredible collection of books across a wide range, and you can just sit anywhere and read to your heart's content.
